This doesn’t make sense. What is the essence of the kumerica movement? Is it for criminality or to birth out talents? Am at sea sef.

According to Kobby Carter, born Gerald Ohene Twumasi, “…. the motive behind ‘Akwashifoc’ is that I have been a victim of these street gangster (robbers) and it is something that’s happening everywhere in the world. So decided to put it on a beat to let people know how it is done here in Kumerica.”

Kobby Carter only started doing music last year, 2019.
